Heifers, Holy Days, and Hamas - bonafide biblical connections?

Numbers 19 is the one biblical chapter addressing an acceptable cleansing method where the burnt remains of a perfect red heifer is specified. What might this have to do with Easter and Passover 2024 and Hamas? Why has Hamas cited their concerns about red heifers as being one provocation for their October 7 invasion?

Meanwhile #1: The saints understand the one and only cleansing means for all of mankind is our crucified Lord.

Meanwhile #2: The nations rage, and what is prophesied as being in place prior to the Lord's return will eventually be in place in the Lord's time.  Our eyes are on Him.
